Harmony Conference of Candidate Managers faces near impossible task
New York July 9 The deadlock in the Harmony Conference of Candidate Managers is described from two sides. McAdoo supporters want to drop all but five candidates including McAdoo and Smith to force a McAdoo Smith choice. They fear a narrow two man race could prolong the deadlock with McAdoo at about 625 votes and Smith around 475. An alternate plan would drop both McAdoo and Smith and hold a new ballot with extra hopefuls, but that risks derailing the nominating process. Smith and McAdoo leadership see little chance for the latter outcome, while most delegates favor eliminating both in favor of a fresh slate of dark horses, seeking a clear majority for a different nominee.
